Managing Your Citations

CITE WHAT YOU FIND USING A STANDARD FORMAT

Give credit where credit is due; cite your sources.Citing or documenting the sources used in your research serves two purposes, it gives proper credit to the authors of the materials used, and it allows those who are reading your work to learn more by reading the sources that you have listed as references. Knowingly representing the work of others as your own is plagiarism. (For details, see Recognizing and Avoiding Plagiarism).
